Updates in latest release – v5.0.5
Added support for recent camera models such as the Panasonic GH4 and Nikon D750 and D810.

A quick update:
I am working on my images from Italy and I hope to post a few before the end of next week. I’ve been working all week on site updates and they are coming along great. I’m pleased to announce that my website has some new features to offer. You should be able to enjoy the full features of the site as usual from your desktop or laptop, but now the site should scale for your tablet or phone.(Let me know if you have any issues) Another added feature is the iOS icon that you will get if you add my website to your home screen as an icon. I created a basic one for now, but I plan to create something cool really soon.

Other than that I switched to Lightroom 5 upon my return from Italy and I love it. The speed enhancements alone are worth the update! I’ll be getting more under the hood as I process my images from the trip so stay tuned!
Cheers,

SO excited to have my new site up and running for all to see. Please feel free to give me some feedback on your user experience. I will continue to update so content should grow fairly regularly. Enjoy…
